Bad breath is often caused by lack of good oral hygiene but it may be a reflection of digestive troubles or another medical or dental condition. Tobacco use, inadequate water consumption and infection of the sinuses and lungs can also cause bad breath.

Supplements can support the healthy digestion necessary to help prevent bad breath. Fiber supplements support colon health and regularity and promote the movement of material through your digestive system. Chlorophyll is a green foods supplement helpful for bad breath, digestive tract odors and body odor. Because of this, chlorophyll is often considered an “internal deodorant.” Alfalfa is known as nature’s “broom and deodorizer” and is an excellent source of fiber and chlorophyll. Parsley leaf is a chlorophyll-rich member of the carrot family and is best known as a plate garnish that can be chewed after a meal to freshen the breath.

Products are also available that support a healthy mouth and gums. Xylitol has been used as an ingredient in toothpaste and mouthwash as well as gums and candies due to its unique and clinically proven dental benefits. Mouthwash made with tea tree oil has inherent antiseptic properties and naturally cleans the mouth and gums.*
